“Not even a ‘thank you, Ruth’ from our Phil. Fancy working in that atmosphere,” one follower commented.
Another, however, hit back: “We all know Phil and Ruth hate each other. No need for fake pleasantries.”
A third joked sarcastically that the interaction between the duo was “not awkward at all”.
Back in April 2019, Ruth had made a formal complaint, which claimed that during one of her preview presentations for Loose Women, Phillip had interrupted and talked over her.
